This is a larger-than-average-sized school. The proportion of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is below the national average. Most of these pupils' have behavioural, emotional and social, or speech, language and communication difficulties. Most pupils are White British with an increasing number from other ethnic groups. The number of pupils who speak English as an additional language is low but increasing; most of these pupils can communicate fluently in English. The school has experienced some significant changes in staffing recently, particularly in Years 3 to 6, including changes at senior management level. Children start school in the Early Years Foundation Stage and join one of two Reception classes.
